                        CalendarCtrl

The calendar control allows the user to pick a date interactively.

The CalendarCtrl displays a window containing several parts: the control to pick the month and the year at the top (either or both of them may be disabled) and a month area below them which shows all the days in the month. The user can move the current selection using the keyboard and select the date (generating EVT_CALENDAR event) by pressing <Return> or double clicking it.

It has advanced possibilities for the customization of its display. All global settings (such as colours and fonts used) can, of course, be changed. But also, the display style for each day in the month can be set independently using CalendarDateAttr class.

An item without custom attributes is drawn with the default colours and font and without border, but setting custom attributes with SetAttr allows to modify its appearance. Just create a custom attribute object and set it for the day you want to be displayed specially A day may be marked as being a holiday, (even if it is not recognized as one by wx.DateTime) by using the SetHoliday method.

As the attributes are specified for each day, they may change when the month is changed, so you will often want to update them in an EVT_CALENDAR_MONTH event handler.

Window Styles

CAL_SUNDAY_FIRST Show Sunday as the first day in the week

CAL_MONDAY_FIRST Show Monday as the first day in the week

CAL_SHOW_HOLIDAYS Highlight holidays in the calendar

CAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE Disable the year changing

CAL_NO_MONTH_CHANGE Disable the month (and, implicitly, the year) changing

CAL_SHOW_SURROUNDING_WEEKS Show the neighbouring weeks in the previous and next months

CAL_SEQUENTIAL_MONTH_SELECTION Use alternative, more compact, style for the month and year selection controls.

The default calendar style is CAL_SHOW_HOLIDAYS.

Events

EVT_CALENDAR A day was double clicked in the calendar.

EVT_CALENDAR_SEL_CHANGED The selected date changed.

EVT_CALENDAR_DAY The selected day changed.

EVT_CALENDAR_MONTH The selected month changed.

Static Method Details

GetClassDefaultAttributes(variant=WINDOW_VARIANT_NORMAL)

Get the default attributes for this class. This is useful if you want to use the same font or colour in your own control as in a standard control -- which is a much better idea than hard coding specific colours or fonts which might look completely out of place on the user's system, especially if it uses themes.

The variant parameter is only relevant under Mac currently and is ignore under other platforms. Under Mac, it will change the size of the returned font. See wx.Window.SetWindowVariant for more about this.

Parameters:: variant
(type=int)

Returns:: VisualAttributes
